Here is a Blue-winged Teal that I captured at a pond that had, White Pelicans, Great White Egrets, Mallard Ducks, Blue-winged Teal and Rosette Spoonbills, all in a feeding frenzy. The ducks kept taking off and landing, giving me some great flight images.

Love the wings position but this image is well under expose. There is very little details anywhere in the image. The head looks out of focus. Remember you can post images up to pixels the longer side.
I am with Maxis, the wing position and the pose is really good. The problems can be taken care of, somewhat in Photoshop in a couple of minutes. Head does appear soft.
Ditto above. Not an easy species to get in flight, and it looks like you got a good spot to go to again! I will add that your "logo" is quite distracting...just the letters would be sufficient ;-)
Dave, the best way of course would be to become a full-blown member of BPN. That way you could take advantage of BPN's hosting service (AND be able to post an image on every forum every 24 hrs...).
If not, just switch hosting sites. Something like Photobucket or similar that does not include an intrusive logo and website address. I personally would never be comfortable with such add-ons to MY photos!!
